We know that people die when they don't have access to health care- so why does the system that Republicans have built in the richest country on earth not prioritize human life?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
A warning to every progressive voter: In America’s election system, your third-party vote can be a gift-wrapped victory for the GOP…See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
From government pressure to political targeting, critics argue Trump is redefining which beliefs are “safe” and which are suspect. We look at where this power comes from, how it’s being used, and why free speech advocates are sounding the alarm.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

As the cost of health insurance continues to climb, politicians debate how to control those costs and expand coverage. But the truth is, there’s already enough money in the system to cover everyone. It’s just being siphoned off by insurance corporations for profits, lobbying, and stock buybacks. Rachel Madley, PhD exposes the details in Wendell Potter's recent Healthcare Uncovered substack.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
When politicians hand the gun industry a liability shield, they’re not “protecting freedom,”they’re protecting a business model built on body counts. Before Trump, Republicans largely only shaded the truth: George W. Bush’s administration asserted “we know” Iraq has WMDs. The statements danced on ambiguous intelligence, carefully presenting suspicions as certainties.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Lev Parnas, Ukrainian-American businessman turned political activist, and author joins Thom to expose the reality of Donald's duplicity with Ukraine. Is Russia already at war with us?

Has the world already crossed the line into global war between the United States and Russia? — and why governments may be afraid to say it out loud.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are going to do unspeakable things to the people of Venezuela. The result is going to be more money for big oil companies, and a lot of dead people.

"fulfillment services are companies that handle shipping, how would that apply to comments he made? There must be some other service attached to his site?? I ask because I don't sell over the Internet or need a fulfillment service. Will this kind of censorship be expanded so that what we as private citizens post?

Ziggy from NY state said his "fulfillment services" that pulled his own anti-the current resident post off his site. Can someone explain this to us neophytes?

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Remember when Joe Biden proposed buying $400 million to buy armored Tesla's for the military but then the State Department kowtowed to leftist lunacy because "Orange Man and Elon bad"?

Love the show, really thoughtful commentary and I like hearing the callers. I’m curious though why the break after every two callers? There is no ad often. Let the conversation go and develop. Fewer breaks!

Top cop becoming president? lol no. And she isn't personable, and people don't like her, and as a corporate dem she isn't progressive at all. Jesus it's as if you believe you have to lieto support the dems over the Republicans

De Santis doesn't impress me at all. I think this is overstating the situation.

Lol fast forwarded to get past the war mongering and got to the part where you cut off the guy shaming you. You disappoint.

Either stop your war mongering or am deleting this podcast. I don't need to hear every episode that Ukraine needs more American money while I am dying from lack of healthcare.

Am in the process of getting off Twitter and I would trust you more if you did too. Jesus stop worrying about how many followers you have lost. It makes you less credible.

Maybe less people spending half their comments licking your taint. We already know you're wonderful. And now you're saying it makes you uncomfortable...yet you didn't edit out the fawning.

Dude if you are having problems coming up with enough material for shows, maybe cut back 1 show a week. But just reading to us is weird.
